Vegan Zucchini Pineapple Muffins image

This was an experiment in my kitchen that turned out even better than I hoped! Substituting bananas for the egg that would be in a typical recipe and applesauce for the oil makes this recipe super healthy, moist, yummy, and vegan; although I am not vegan myself, I will make these often!
